A surprise visit from the Trumps in 2018 captures patriotism and holiday spirit in a powerful new release.
On Christmas Eve, former President Donald Trump released a moving video titled “A Christmas to Remember,” revisiting his 2018 surprise trip to visit American troops in Iraq. Narrated by Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the video blends patriotism with holiday cheer, showcasing a moment that Sanders described as one she would “never forget.”
The 2018 Visit
• Secret Journey: Trump, joined by First Lady Melania Trump, boarded Air Force One in complete darkness and landed on a runway with no lights in war-torn Iraq.
• Surprise for the Troops: Hundreds of American soldiers gathered in a dining hall, unaware of the visit. Sanders recalled the room erupting with cheers when the Trumps entered.
• One soldier shouted, “Mr. President, I reenlisted in the military because of you!” to which Trump replied, “And son, I am here because of you.”
Why It Matters
1. Patriotism at Its Core: The video captures the essence of Trump’s connection with the military and his commitment to uplifting American service members.
2. A Symbol of Leadership: The visit served as a morale booster during the holiday season, reinforcing the importance of gratitude for those serving far from home.
3. Resonance with Supporters: The release comes at a pivotal time, reigniting themes of patriotism and leadership central to Trump’s base.
“A Christmas to Remember” offers a poignant look at a moment of unity and gratitude, delivering a holiday message that transcends politics. As Sanders said, it’s a scene that leaves a lasting impression—a reminder of the sacrifices made by those in uniform and the leader who sought to honor them.
